VTB-Simulink Model Interface Tool
Starting from a Simulink model file and a
suitable Icon file the tool generates
automatically a ready to use VTB model
(ltnomegt.vts file)
4
Extensions and Enhancements

• The tool has been updated to meet the the VTB2002
  protocol
• We also have some new features

C-code Simulink embedded S-Functions
Export Simulink2VTB Parameters
Natural Signal
COUPLING
5
Example

• Boost model defined with native Simulink blocks

6
Model Interface

• Interface to specify different types of
  coupling.
• Any Simulink Input-Output port can be mapped to a
  VTB terminal and the user can specify the
  nature of the port.

Signal Coupling (Directed flow of information
through objects)
Natural Coupling (Interactions require
enforcement of physical conservation principles)
VCCS (Voltage Controlled Current Source)
CCVS (Current Controlled Voltage Source)

What are S-Functions ?

• S-Function block represents the possibility to
  embed in a Simulink model algorithms written in
  C-code
• Powerful mechanism for extending the capabilities
  of Simulink
• General purpose blocks can be built which can be
  used many times in a model.
• Used to create custom Simulink blocks

8
Example

• Synergetic Boost Control

S-Function

Parameters Definitions

• In a Simulink model, parameter changes affects
  the run time simulation
• It is possible to customize the export of some
  parameters from SIMULINK to VTB

10
Conclusion

• The Simulink2VTB tool Interface was updated to
  the VTB2002 release
• The tool has been enhanced
• User port type definition
• S-Function coding
• Parameter Export capability
